mountain was still a remote and inhospitable site, some 12 km from the Pacific Coast in the dry Atacama desert in northern Chile. Few aircraft passengers flying along that coast would notice anything particular about this peak, except perhaps that it was one of the tallest in the steep coastal mountain range. Already in the early 1960's, pioneer astronomers crossed this desolate region in search of suitable sites for future observatories. One of them, Jürgen Stock, did notice the Paranal peak as a possible candidate. However, without any water in this extremely dry area, how could any people, even hardy scientists, ever live up there? He then went on to discover La Silla, where ESO decided to build its first observatory in 1964.</div> </div> <div class="news-readmore">Read more</div> </div>  </a> </div> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12"> <a href="/web/20210201215040/https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso0043/"> <div class="news-wrapper"> <div class="news-image"> <img class="img-responsive" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210201215040im_/https://cdn.eso.org/images/thumb350x/eso0043a.jpg"> </div> <div class="news-description"> <div class="news-id">eso0043 — Science Release</div> <div class="news-title">VLT Observations Confirm that the Universe Was Hotter in the Past</div> <div class="news-teaser"><strong>20 December 2000</strong>: A fundamental prediction of the Big Bang theory has finally been verified. For the first time, an actual measurement has been made of the temperature of the cosmic microwave background radiation, at a time when the Universe was only about 2.5 billion years old. This fundamental and very difficult observation was achieved by a team of astronomers from India, France and ESO [1]. They obtained a detailed spectrum of a quasar in the distant Universe, using the UV-Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UVES) instrument at the ESO 8.2-m VLT KUEYEN telescope at the Paranal Observatory.</div> </div> <div class="news-readmore">Read more</div> </div>  </a> </div> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12"> <a href="/web/20210201215040/https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso0042/"> <div class="news-wrapper"> <div class="news-image"> <img class="img-responsive" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210201215040im_/https://cdn.eso.org/images/thumb350x/eso0042a.jpg"> </div> <div class="news-description"> <div class="news-id">eso0042 — Organisation Release</div> <div class="news-title">Three Good Reasons for Celebrating at the ESO/ST-ECF Science Archive Facility</div> <div class="news-teaser"><strong>13 December 2000</strong>: Due to a happy coincidence, the ESO/ST-ECF Science Archive Facility is celebrating three different milestones at the same time: 1) its 10th anniversary since the establishment in 1991, 2) the 10,000th request for data, and 3) the signing-up of active user number 2000. This Archive contains over 8 Terabytes (1 Terabyte = 1 million million bytes) of valuable observational data from the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope (HST), the ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) and other ESO telescopes. Its success paves the way for the establishment of "Virtual Observatories" from which first-class data can be obtained by astronomers all over the world.

They base their conclusion on recent observations with ISAAC, an infrared-sensitive, multi-mode instrument on ESO's Very Large Telescope at the Paranal Observatory. This galaxy has been designated ISOHDFS 27 and is located at a distance of approx. 6 billion light-years (the redshift is 0.58). Its measured mass is more than 1000 billion times that of the Sun [2]. It is thus about four times more massive than our own galaxy, the Milky Way, and twice as heavy as the heaviest spiral galaxy known so far.</div> </div> <div class="news-readmore">Read more</div> </div>  </a> </div> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12"> <a href="/web/20210201215040/https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso0040/"> <div class="news-wrapper"> <div class="news-image"> <img class="img-responsive" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210201215040im_/https://cdn.eso.org/images/thumb350x/eso0040a.jpg"> </div> <div class="news-description"> <div class="news-id">eso0040 — Science Release</div> <div class="news-title">The VLT Weighs the Invisible Matter in the Universe</div> <div class="news-teaser"><strong>1 December 2000</strong>: An international team of astronomers [1] has succeeded in mapping the "dark" (invisible) matter in the Universe, as seen in 50 different directions from the Earth. They find that, within the uncertainty, it is unlikely that mass alone would stop the current expansion of the Universe. This fundamental result is based on the powerful, but challenging method of "cosmic shear". It depends on very accurate measurements of the apparent, weak distortion and preferential orientation of images of distant galaxies. This effect is caused by deflection of the light from those galaxies by the large mass concentrations in the Universe it encounters on its way to us. The larger these masses are, the larger are the apparent image distortions and the more pronounced are the alignments of neigbouring galaxy images. The new analysis was made possible by means of unique observational data, obtained under excellent conditions with the the ESO 8.2-m VLT ANTU telescope and the multi-mode FORS1 instrument at the Paranal Observatory.</div> </div> <div class="news-readmore">Read more</div> </div>  </a> </div> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12"> <a href="/web/20210201215040/https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso0039/"> <div class="news-wrapper"> <div class="news-image"> <img class="img-responsive" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210201215040im_/https://cdn.eso.org/images/thumb350x/eso_colour.jpg"> </div> <div class="news-description"> <div class="news-id">eso0039 — Organisation Release</div> <div class="news-title">UK Announces Intention to Join ESO</div> <div class="news-teaser"><strong>22 November 2000</strong>: The Particle Physics and Astronomy Research Council (PPARC), the UK's strategic science investment agency, today announced that the government of the United Kingdom is making funds available that provide a baseline for this country to join the European Southern Observatory (ESO).</div> </div> <div class="news-readmore">Read more</div> </div>  </a> </div> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12"> <a href="/web/20210201215040/https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso0038/"> <div class="news-wrapper"> <div class="news-image"> <img class="img-responsive" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210201215040im_/https://cdn.eso.org/images/thumb350x/eso0038a.jpg"> </div> <div class="news-description"> <div class="news-id">eso0038 — Organisation Release</div> <div class="news-title">MONA, LISA and VINCI Soon Ready to Travel to Paranal</div> <div class="news-teaser"><strong>13 November 2000</strong>: A few months from now, light from celestial objects will be directed for the first time towards ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) at the Paranal Observatory (Chile). During this "First Light" event and the subsequent test phase, the light will be recorded with a special test instrument, VINCI (VLT INterferometer Commissioning Instrument). The main components of this high-tech instrument are aptly named MONA (a system that combines the light beams from several telescopes by means of optical fibers) and LISA (the infrared camera). VINCI was designed and constructed within a fruitful collaboration between ESO and several research institutes and industrial companies in France and Germany. It is now being assembled at the ESO Headquarters in Garching (Germany) and will soon be ready for installation at the telescope on Paranal. With the VLTI and VINCI, Europe's astronomers are now entering the first, crucial phase of an exciting scientific and technology venture that will ultimately put the world's most powerful optical/IR interferometric facility in their hands.</div> </div> <div class="news-readmore">Read more</div> </div>  </a> </div> </div> <div class="row news-list"> <div class="col-md-3 col-sm-6 col-xs-12"> <a href="/web/20210201215040/https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso0037/"> <div class="news-wrapper"> <div class="news-image"> <img class="img-responsive" src="https://web.archive.org/web/20210201215040im_/https://cdn.eso.org/images/thumb350x/eso0037a.jpg"> </div> <div class="news-description"> <div class="news-id">eso0037 — Photo Release</div> <div class="news-title">Stellar Birth in a Dark Cloud</div> <div class="news-teaser"><strong>27 October 2000</strong>: A remarkable, wide-field infrared image allows to see in unprecedented detail the inner regions of RCW 108, a large complex of stars and nebulae in the southern Milky Way.

Physics is all around us and governs our lives. The World-Wide Web and mobile communication are only two examples of technologies that have rapidly found their way from science into the everyday life. But who is going to maintain these technologies and develop new ones in the future? Probably not young Europeans, as recent surveys show a frightening decline of interest in physics and technology among Europe's citizens, especially schoolchildren. Fewer and fewer young people enrol in physics courses at university.

It turns out to be the most remote gamma-ray burst ever observed. The exceedingly powerful flash of light from this event was emitted when the Universe was very young, less than about 1,500 million years old, or only 10% of its present age. Travelling with the speed of light (300,000 km/sec) during 11,000 million years or more, the signal finally reached the Earth on January 31, 2000. The brightness of the exploding object was enormous, at least 1,000,000,000,000 times that of our Sun, or thousands of times that of the explosion of a single, heavy star (a "supernova"). The ESO Very Large Telescope (VLT) was also involved in trail-blazing observations of another gamma-ray burst in May 1999, c.f.
